I was just curious about korean names. I used to believe that korean names were made of two syllables. But, for example, ex Wonder Girls’ member, Sun Mi, Sun being the surname and Mi the name. Isn’t Mi a really awkward name? Are these kind of names common is Korea?
That awkward moment when WG Sunmi’s name is Lee Sunmi. Two-character names are uncommon in Korea but not...

Do you think buying physical albums are a waste of money ? *well that’s what my parents always say*
Your parents don’t know about relative value, then. Why do people collect artwork? Some of those things sell for more money than both your parents will ever have saved up… so is that painting or sculpture really worth more than a family’s lifetime savings? What does it do?...

What if we pack helium balloons for SNSD food support.
Then you wouldn’t have enough room for food and it would be a dick for the managers/staff to carry.

What’s the difference between an idol and a musician?
At the very minimum, an idol can just look good, get dressed up like a doll, repeat choreography under the tutelage of experts until muscle memory lets them learn how to “dance”, sing a couple of lines in tune, be sociable on variety shows A musician needs to show some musical ability. Whether it be competency in composition,...

Anonymous asked: There's something I don't get. Hyorin once said that since her debut, she barely has time anymore to focus on improving her singing (even more). I've noticed with sunbae groups how there are some idols (not lead vocalists) who have tremendously improved compared to their debut days, but there are others (also non-leads) who are still just as mediocre as back then. My question: why...

Anonymous asked: Sorry if this doesn't really fit into your blog; I watched a few eps of 'K-Pop Star' lately and some contestants came from overseas for this competition, some of them having to stay for over three months. I'm just wondering how that works? Missing school? Where do they usually stay? Are their parents there with them? Who takes care of all their fees?

Anonymous asked: So I went to SMtown Anaheim and was very disappointed that they had absolutely no merchandise for sale. Is this the norm for the kpop industry? I probably wasn't the only person who was planning to drop some money for some overpriced merchandise.

borirulez asked: Your post about the increasing longevity of kpop groups reminded me of a question I asked before. I'm not sure if you have seen it but I'm going to ask again anyway. With groups like Big Bang and SNSD having quite a stable career with solid fanbases as well as no immediate decline in popularity or sales seen in the near future, also the influx of powerful rookie groups, do you think the...

Mr. Pencuri Bawang,regarding to tvxq and jyj matters, in your opinion..what make changmin stay to be with yunho rather than join the other member in jyj?
Who knows? In this situation, it’s surely not the final decision, but the circumstances in which it was made and the options (and following implications) available at the time that matters more.

i kind of disagree that it was lazy because it looks like quite alot of effort was put into the planning… to gather so much people and so much equipment such as the extremely rare cameras i saw in their teaser was just…. wow.
Lazy production can have a lot of money, equipment and manpower poured into it. For example, you can take a turd, shine it up, paint on a layer of...

peacoats asked: About Taecyeon: The first and last (and therefore only time) he was ever tested for the military happened in 2008, pre-debut, when he just came off an arm injury and wasn't as physically fit as he is today. What is on his file is only from that test. Since then he has given up his permanent residence in the US to be eligible for active military service. When he is tested again (he is 23/24 in...

Is it just a coincidence that BB and WG are releasing new stuff after TTS finished promoting?
Companies roughly know when each group will be promoting and they plan ahead accordingly which is why rookies moan so much when sunbaes postpone their comebacks and it ends up overlapping with theirs.. You could even say TTS was timed to be before BB and WG if you wanted to be play that ga.

taecaway asked: i have no idea what's the difference between a greencard and his citizenship? :S i thought they were the same thing :O but taec has a dislocated shoulder and his eye sight is terrible. wearing contacts while training would be tough, but without them he won't be able to see a thing.

berlagak asked: Um, about the Taec and military thing. I made a post so you should read it, if you want. Here's something, no matter how athletic the person is, a dislocated shoulder is a no in the army. He can run and do acrobatic jumps all he wants and said he's fine but if the x-ray showed his shoulder is still dislocated, the army will not accept him. Here's the thing about a dislocated...

hi mr. onion, do you know why some of the UFOs are blurred out when it’s translated in ssf?
Some UFOs are blurred out or “white’d out” by the person who posted the UFO. If you get a UFO reply from the celebrity, it comes as a personal message, which you have to screencap and post. With UFOs, some people post personal things or personal identifiers so that the celebrity knows...

Hi, do you get annoyed from questions asking what if ‘Soyeon was leader instead of Taeyeon’?
No. I get annoyed by people saying that Soyeon left SNSD when she was never a member in the first place.

I read this somewhere once, “Taeyeon: born to be a singer, Tiffany: dream to be a singer, Jessica: trained to be a singer”. your thought? that’s kinda reflected in the way they sing imo.
Pretty sure they all dreamed of being a singer at some point. Also that if they’re able to sing and are not tone-deaf, they are kind of born with the ability to sing…?

Do you not think SM has shoved so many in dramas as when they are gone from the country, they are still getting publicity?
Keping a foot in the country and being in public show from time to time is a sure way to stop yourself from becoming totally ireelevant or losing too much of the momentum in your stride.
